rkoldI decided to look into getting more flatware since we seem to always be running out whenever we have company as I think we only have service for 12. I decided to be smart and visit the Oneida website and lo and behold not only is out pattern discontinued it was only made for 1 year, so a single place setting now costs about the same as i paid for my service for 12 ~.~ Plus Oneida had no recommendations on complimentary patterns since mine is so different. GRRRRRR GRRRR GRRRR Why only produce a pattern for a single year?!?!
On the happy side, for our last CSA drop off we actually got a great selection of things! We got apples and carrots (apple crisp and carrot cake anyone?) as well as potatoes, kale and onions. I'm excited thinking about food for Thanksgiving now. Once I find it again I shall share my recipe for apple crisp of a sort. I tend to put a crust under my crisp as even though it ups the calorie count it makes it ever so much easier to serve. I want to bake pumpkin cookies. I need something sweet in the house and I'm in the mood for them or maybe chocolate chip, or maybe both. >>;
On the less than happy side, I promised to test some recipes for the Synagogue cook book. I picked ones that sounded interesting without first seeing what was in them. For Hubby's Office Potluck I made the Mexican Lasagna which was simple and easy to make and full of lots of calories and salt. I tried to cut down on the sodium by not using an instant taco packet, but even so! I'm not sure what I would do to lighten it if I was to make it again, I definitely would try to use less canned items and maybe switch to whole wheat tortillas? My next up recipe is scones which present a problem as I realized I do not own a cookie/scone cutter. I am so going to go search back through my random baking things. Finally, I volunteered to make a carrot souffle since I think that sounded good but the more I look at the recipe the more I am doubting that. It uses corn flakes. Corn flakes. I don't even like eating them in parfaits if I can help it. Ugh. I am not sure what I am going to do.
